i've read so many different opinions about how much and how long it should be taken...
the Mind Boosters info from iherb.com says take it only 4 days/week for two months on, then one month off?
Who follows this routine?
I am taking 100mg in the morning and 200mg at night...i tried the 3 times a day but it made me too tired throughout the day...but i dont feel completely better...
Can I up my dosage to perhaps 400-500mg? and take it 7day/week?

5-HTP can be taken 7 days a week. I've read a lot on the topic, and have never heard anyone say that one should not take it every day. Julia Ross, Author of "The Mood Cure" has a clinic in Marin county, CA, where she has been doing amino acid therapy for 20 years. She reccomends it every day for as long as needed, though she says that eventually one's stores of seratonin begin to be stocked up and you probably won't need it all the time after a while. I think one thing to keep in mind is that there is not just one correct way of doing this. Each person's body works differently from the others, which is why there isn't just one cure for depression that always works. You have to experiment and see what works best for you. But I guarantee it is safe to take 5-HTP every day.
Good luck to you. May happy thoughts bubble up like a spring in your mind.

is it technically possible for 5 HTP to cause depression? i read M. Murray`s book on 5 HTP. never seen anything that would answer yes to this question. but last time i took 5 HTP was with 20 mg Celexa and i did feel depressed afterwards. but it is hard to tell whether it was because of 5 HTP or something else. any ideas??

i've never heard it causing depression...i know if you take too much it can cause anxiety because of too much serotonin in your head.....
but at the same time...mixing an antidepressant with 5htp may cause very bad side-effects....i dont think you should mix the two.
